Is it normal to be afraid of my computer's webcam?

Whenever I'm on the computer, I always fear that there is a virus on my computer that can somehow record everything I'm doing via webcam... I fear that what I'm doing is recorded and can be somehow used to blackmail me in the future. I don't feel comfortable on my own computer, IIN?

    My dad had a network set up between all the house computers so everyone could see other peoples webcams or remotely control their computer. So annoying -_-

    In the USA, a school that provided laptops to it's students didn't tell anyone the webcam could be remotely activated supposedly to help retrieve the laptop if it got lost or stolen.

    I've got an idea. You scare everyone you know with this story and, hopefully, it'll go viral just as the first "Webcam Blindfold" rolls off my production line.

    Next: the "Mouse Muzzle". Because those things can nip!
